What does an event look like if you send it to

```
output { stdout { codec => rubydebug } }
```

I have same issue since upgrading logstash to 7.4.2. It will not match any field from winlogbeats. Tested rubydebug and all fields show up fine. For example:

"winlog" =\> {  
.........

```
         "event_id" => 4688,
  ................
}

```

It still does not match  
[winlog.event\_id] == 4688

If event\_id is a field nested inside the winlog object then although in kibana you would refer to it as winlog.event\_id, in logstash you have to refer to it as [winlog][event\_id]
